Actually, vsnl does care. That's why I can send mail to almost any domain
but not vsnl. My from lines are correct, almost everything is correct.
There is only one place in the mail header where my host is even
mentioned:
Received from iname.com by denthor.tspl.loc for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
this is because I do helo iname.com when I am talking to my local smtp
server.
